![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Sony “Pro” version is also currently on sale for 50% off too. There’s a free “Express” version for Sony shooters, and they have a 30 day trial of the full version too. It’s just a quick demonstration to show you that it can be different, and make you aware of the issue so you can try it on your own files yourself.Īnyway, the point of all this, is that if you are a Sony shooter who uses Lightroom and you have found issues with the colour, then give Capture One a try. For many, you might not find the differences that great - and it will depend on the scene and the particular camera (although I tried some raw files from the A7RIII from DpReview and they were fairly off in Lightroom too.)īy the way - this post isn’t an attempt to “prove” that Lightroom is worse than Capture One - and I still use Lightroom much of the time. I did try and use the calibration tools in Lightroom to fix the magenta in the shadows, but it starts to affect the flesh tones. This is just a pretty boring example that I thought I’d share as it demonstrates the issue quite clearly. So how do I know which is right? Well, I was there! The ground isn’t purple, and to my eye the Capture One version is much more accurate to how this scene actually is in real life. Note: the crop is slightly different on these two versions. When I was going through these images for something else the other day, I came across this and noticed the discrepancy, and that spurred me to write this post. Here’s an example on a particularly mundane file. While it doesn’t have the options to match all the camera picture modes, it’s default calibration is more natural looking than Lightroom’s in my opinion. Capture One, on the other hand, seems to have calibrated its profiles better. You can tweak the calibration in Lightroom to improve things and I’ve detailed in the past how to do this (it’s also in my A6000 Lightroom guide) but there are still issues.įor whatever reason, Adobe’s colour profiles for Sony Cameras are just problematic, or at least for the cameras that I’ve tried. Then I realised that the issue wasn’t with Sony per se, although it does have “different” colours to other cameras - the issue was that Lightroom’s colour profiles were way off. Having shot with a Sony A6000 for many years, and having tried a friends Sony A7II multiple times, originally I agreed. Time and time again we read about problems with Sony’s colour science. While the advantages aren’t as clear cut as they are for Fuji shooters, given the problems that Lightroom has with details and Fuji RAW files, there is one big benefit for Sony Shooters - the colour is better. I’ve written a good bit about Capture One for Fuji shooters, including a whole book about it, but I think it’s something you should consider if you shoot Sony too. ![]()
